Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Narada Bhakti Sutras - 4 Chapter 1 (Sloka 13 - 17) 13. There have been many definitions of love, but Narada gives these as the signs of love: When all thoughts, all words, and all deeds are given up unto the Lord, and the least forgetfulness of God makes one intensely miserable, then love has begun. 14. As the Gopis had it -- 15. Because, although worshipping God as their lover, they never forget his God-nature; 16. Otherwise they would have committed the sin of unchastity. 17. This is the highest form of love, because there is no desire of reciprocity, which is in all human love. - From a free translation dictated by Swami Vivekananda in America, found in Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 6, page 150-154 published by Advaita Ashrama (http://www.advaitaonline.com/) -- --------------- Email: gokulmuthu Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/gokulmuthu/ Phone: +91 80 6689904, 6689938, 6780026-9 +91 80 2384190-3 Ext. 227 Res: +91 80 6594834 +91 44 8140104 --------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
